The topic of gamma type functions and related functional equation $f(x+1)=g(x)f(x)$ has been seriously studied from first half of the twentieth century till now. Regarding unique solutions of the equation the asymptotic condition…

Let $A_f(1,n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a $GL(3)$ Maass cusp form $f$ and let $a_g(n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a $GL(2)$ cusp form $g$. Let $\lambda(n)$ be either $A_f(1,n)$ or the triple divisor function…

Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the divisors of $n$. Kalita and Saikia defined a number $n$ to be near superperfect if $2n+d=\sigma(\sigma(n))$ for some positive divisor $d$ of $n$. We extend some of their results about near superperfect…

We will introduce a notion of normal subshifts. A subshift $(\Lambda,\sigma)$ is said to be normal if it satisfies a certain synchronizing property called $\lambda$-synchronizing and is infinite as a set. We have lots of purely infinite…

A Friedman number is a positive integer which is the result of an expression combining all of its own digits by use of the four basic operations, exponentiation and digit concatenation. A "nice" Friedman number is a Friedman number for…

We study the arithmetic (real) function f=g*1, with g "essentially bounded" and supported over the integers of [1,Q]. In particular, we obtain non-trivial bounds, through f "correlations", for the "Selberg integral" and the "symmetry…

The harmonic sum of the integers which are missing $p$ given digits in a base $b$ is expressed as $b\log(b)/p$ plus corrections indexed by the excluded digits and expressed as integrals involving the digamma function and a suitable measure.…

An old conjecture of Sierpinski asserts that for every integer k \ge 2, there is a number m for which the equation \phi(x)=m has exactly k solutions. Here \phi is Euler's totient function. In 1961, Schinzel deduced this conjecture from his…

Given a sequence of frequencies $\{\lambda_n\}_{n\geq1}$, a corresponding generalized Dirichlet series is of the form $f(s)=\sum_{n\geq 1}a_ne^{-\lambda_ns}$. We are interested in multiplicatively generated systems, where each number…

A real arithmetic function f is multiplicatively monotonous if f (mn) -- f (m) has constant sign for m, n positive integers. Properties and examples of such functions are discussed, with applications to positive hermitian…

Let $G(g;x):=\sum_{n\leq x}g(n)$ be the summatory function of an arithmetical function $g(n)$. In this paper, we prove that we can write weighted averages of an arbitrary fixed number $N$ of arithmetical functions $g_{j}(n),\,j\in\left\{…

Counting the number of prime numbers up to a certain natural number and describing the asymptotic behavior of such a counting function has been studied by famous mathematicians like Gauss, Legendre, Dirichlet, and Euler. The prime number…

We investigate the topological structure of the decimal expansions of the three famous naturally occurring irrational numbers, $\pi$, $e$, and golden ratio, by explicitly calculating the diversity of the pair distributions of the ten digits…

Sidorov and Vershik showed that in base $G=\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}$ and with the digits $0,1$ the numbers $x=nG ~(\text {mod} 1)$ have $\aleph_{0}$ expansions for any $n\in\mathbb{Z}$, while the other elements of $(0, \frac{1}{G-1})$ have…

Let K be a finite Galois extension of Q. The normal basis theorem provides an element of K whose conjugates form a Q-basis of K. Here we obtain such an element with controlled size. This improves a recent result by Fukshansky and Jeong. By…

In 1914, Felix Hausdorff published an elegant proof that almost all numbers are simply normal in base 2. We generalize this proof to show that almost all numbers are normal. The result is arguably the most elementary proof for this theorem…

We introduce axiomatically the ring $\bf{Z}_\kappa$ of the Euclidean integers, that can be viewed as the ``integral part" of the field $\mathbb{E}$ of Euclidean numbers of [4], where the transfinite sum of ordinal indexed $\kappa$-sequences…

Let us denote by $\tau(n)$ and $\si(n)$ the number and the sum of the divisors of $n$ and by $\vfi$ Euler's function. We give effective upper bounds for $\frac{n}{\vfi(n)}$ in terms of $\vfi(n)$, and for $\frac{\si(n)}{n}$ in terms of…

An integer $k$ is called regular (mod $n$) if there exists an integer $x$ such that $k^2x\equiv k$ (mod $n$). This holds true if and only if $k$ possesses a weak order (mod $n$), i.e., there is an integer $m\ge 1$ such that $k^{m+1} \equiv…

Let $X$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane, not all on a line. According to the Gallai-Sylvester theorem, $X$ always spans an \emph{ordinary line}, i.e., one that passes through precisely 2 elements of $X$. Given an integer $c\ge 2,$ a…
